What is Steel?

Iron is an element that when combined with carbon and other elements makes steel.

Steel is the most common metal alloy in the world. In its simplest form, it consists of iron and varying amounts of carbon. Because both iron and carbon have been well-known since ancient times, the alloy has been produced in one form or another since well before the birth of Christ.

Some of the very earliest steel was made in the eastern regions of Africa, around 1400 BCE
